We believe that functional managers’ primary focus lies on people, functional development, and process improvement. You will help develop our talent through continuous feedback and coaching and identifying growth opportunities. You can speak the engineering language and help develop our people to become better engineers and team members - while you may not be the most senior engineer, you know the fundamentals and can always ask the right questions to guide smart technical decision-making. Throughout your leadership, you will identify process gaps and surface those to our cross-functional leadership group with an eye on improving the effectiveness of our engineers within that process.
